Welsh, Infante, Rowe, O'Donnell & Frazer Win Honda Award In 2001, defensive back Autumn Welsh became the first athlete under Missy Meharg to be recognized as the national player of the year. Welsh was named the recipient of the prestigious Honda Award, marking the first time in Maryland field hockey history that a Terp attained the honor. After leading the Terps to back-to-back NCAA Championships in 2005 and 2006, defensive midfielder Paula Infante earned the honor both years, becoming only the third field hockey player in the history of the award to win it multiple times. Infante went on to be a top-five finalist for the coveted Honda-Broderick Cup, presented to the NCAA's Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year across all sports. In 2008, Susie Rowe capped a senior campaign in which she won her third national title with the national player of the year award after setting Maryland records with 28 goals and 74 total points scored. The defender scored the game-winner in the National Championship game, a 4-2 victory over Wake Forest. As a junior, Katie O'Donnell won the nation's top award after breaking the ACC assist records and leading the team offensively. Megan Frazer won in 2011 after leading the Terrapins from an unseeded NCAA Tournament berth to another national title. Infante (2005, 06), Welsh (2001), Rowe (2008), O'Donnell (2009), Frazer (2011) and women's lacrosse standout Jen Adams (2000, 2001) are the only Honda Award recipients in Maryland athletics history.
